Pool Play
Round:
Pool play will be used to advance two teams from each pool to the Championship round (thus eliminating 6 of the 10 teams from the Championship competition).
A defined tie breaker system will be used, if necessary, to determine which teams will advance to the Championship round and their position in their Pool.
Championship Round:
This round will determine the World Series Champion from among the 4 teams that advance out of the pool play round. At this point, pool play results have no further bearing on the 4 remaining teams, regardless their losses in the Pool Play round.
The Championship round will be conducted under a single elimination tournament format. In the semi-finals, the winner of Pool "A" will play the second place team from Pool "B" and the winner from Pool "B" will play the second place team from Pool "A". Those winners will meet in the final game for the Big League World Series Championship.
Friendship Round:
This round is scheduled to give each team at least 6 games. Teams playing in this round cannot get back in the Championship round.
